For father's day my wife gave me the go ahead to get a new addition. I went to get a Bushnell Banner 4-12x40 from Academy Sports. When I got there I saw the Maverick 88 Field for $156.99. I wanted a 20 gauge model. While looking for the 20 gauge model I saw a box that said "Special 10% off". I mentioned what is that box there with the 10% off.
That must be a mistake the sales person said. I mentioned mistake or not it is marked that way it should be honored. I was very polite and the sales guy was too. He mentioned what he would do in this situation is give me a 10% discount card because they could not discount guns. I said okay let me think about it.
As I was thinking about it he said "I can also just give you $20 ammo instead if you wanted". I was still thinking about the purchase. I need a shotgun for the home, and it I can get good accessories for the gun being a Maverick 88. I also had an ace up my sleeve. Grin
I told the sales guy open it up lets look at it. It was functioned fine. Function checks passed. So I bought the gun. When we go to the checkout my ace was the $10 off card mailed to me. So the total cost of the shotgun was $141.xx. I am pretty happy with the purchase.
Another ace in the hole was that my wife got mailed a $10 card as well. So I went to the other Academy Sports across town and got my ammo for $10 off as well. Grin
I can't wait to get a rifled barrel for the North Arkansas slug only hunts. Also use this next spring for Turkey down in South Arkansas. Might have to do a little dove hunting. Possible a squirrel will fall to this. What's that? Duck hunting? Sure why not. Oh! You have some crows that need eradicated? I got you covered, Pop.
well. I watched the video for disassemble of the Mossberg 500 on youtube.com. That man's videos are most appreciated.
I took CLP and a good brush and stripped all the gunk that was in the gun.. After reassembly the gun was much more responsive and smooth. Before I was having an issue with feeding a round after the first was loaded and ejected. I haven't shot the gun, but will tomorrow. I am in debate on ordering a 20" or 24" rifled barrel to hunt deer with in Zone 4, AR. Then I would like to add a 20" smooth barrel for HD. I can't make up my mind if I want an 18.5" or 20" for HD. Suggestions?
I have never had a shotgun with a 28" barrel. Man, that is a huge gun. I think I am going to like this gun if it shoots and functions well after that.
